Electrical Power Lab

This laboratory is located in room 1A 2. The Power lab is equipped with Heavy-duty motors and generators, transformers and other devices for studying the electrical operating characteristics of equipment and to enable practical handling of equipment. In recent years several table model type equipment were acquired to support this lab, bringing a new dimension to this lab. These new equipment are very user friendly enabling students to “patch” the necessary circuit wirings for the application desired, in addition the a.c / d.c. motor & generators are constructed to enable students to view the internal structure / mechanism of the machinery while in operation. In so doing they develop a better understanding and appreciation of the equipment functionality.

Electrical / Electronics Labs

There are four laboratories that facilitate the conduct of other Electrical Engineering Science and Electronics. These labs are located at rooms. No. 1A 1, 1A 58, 1A 59, 1B 7.

Controls Lab

In this lab various computerized equipment / component are used to control / manipulate / and monitor peripheral devices representing models of industrial processes.

Instrumentation Lab

The Instrumentation laboratory is located at room 6A2.  In every sphere of activity there is some element of instrumentation occurring. Instrumentation is widely used in industries for automation and quality control of the processes. In this laboratory the aim is to demonstrate the measurement, testing, manipulation, and control of various signal process variables such as temperature, pressure, flow, conductivity, ph etc.

Telecommunications Laboratory

Housed in room 1A61 is the telecommunications laboratory, which is geared to expose students to the principles analogue and digital technologies used in transmission and reception of voice and data signals.  

It has a fully furnished computer network and telephone PBX system, specifically for laboratory purposes.

Mechatronics Laboratory

In room 1B 9, the mechatronics laboratory is presently in a developmental stage, and shall enable students to combine the disciplines of engineering - mechanical, electrical / electronics and computing to explore and interact with robotic devices.
